I just love the way you do coloring, shading and lines. It's like a speedpaint, only for ponies instead of concept art. I wish I could be even half as good with a tablet and Photoshop as you are, but I am much better with sketching in traditional pencils and then using Photoshop to color and shade what has already been drawn on paper.

Although, John, you WERE a prominent influence on how I draw ponies, especially when I DO draw them all digitally in Photoshop :3
